After they promised “merciless retaliation” if the film gets released (Oh, we’re so scared, North Korea), Sony is hurrying to make some CGI changes prior to the film’s pushed-back December 25th release date. The scope of those changes is perhaps the funniest aspect of this whole story. They’re altering some military badges and buttons on North Korean soldiers that pay respect to the fallen Kim Jung-Il, because they feel that those might be in poor taste in a film about KILLING HIS SON.

The funny thing is, that seems to be weird enough that that would be exactly the thing that pisses North Korea off. Similarly, the studio is “considering” changing a scene in which Lil’ Kim’s face melts off in slow motion.

Yeah, that might be something you want to look into in order to avoid that merciless retaliation they’ve been touting.

After the jump, watch this über-expository clip that pretty much explains the entire show, and then tell us at "Family Guy" creator (and voice of pretty much all the male characters) Seth MacFarlane isn't in this scene. The king of TV show flashbacks in a show about flash fowards? TNT may know drama. But ABC knows irony.
